STEAKHOUSE STEAKS RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Heat a large, well-seasoned cast iron skillet over high heat until very hot, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, pat the steaks dry with a paper towel and brush them lightly with vegetable oil. Combine the fleur de sel and cracked pepper on a plate and roll the steaks in the mixture, pressing lightly to evenly coat all sides.
• When the skillet is ready, add the steaks and sear them evenly on all sides for about 2 minutes per side, for a total of 10 minutes.
• Top each steak with a tablespoon of butter, if using, and place the skillet in the oven. Cook the steaks until they reach 120 degrees F for rare or 125 degrees F for medium-rare on an instant-read thermometer. (To test the steaks, insert the thermometer sideways to be sure you're actually testing the middle of the steak.)
• Remove the steaks to a serving platter, cover tightly with aluminum foil and allow to rest at room temperature for 10 minutes. Serve hot with Roquefort Chive Sauce on the side.
• Bring the heavy cream to a boil in a small heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook at a low boil, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has become thick and creamy, about 20 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, add the cheese, salt, pepper and chives and whisk rapidly until the cheese melts.
• Yield: 4 servings

Steps:

• Take the steaks out of the fridge, and allow to come to room temperature.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet (you can even use a cast iron skillet) on high heat until very hot.
• Rub both sides of the steaks lightly with the lawry's seasoning.
• Add 1/2 the butter and 1/2 the lemon juice to the hot skillet, next add one steak in the center of the skillet.
• Cook 2-4 minutes on each side (depending on the thickness and how you like your steak done) with a lid on, and make sure the kitchen is well ventilated because this could get smoky. Do not poke holes in steak to test for doneness, as this will dry the meat out.
• Once steak is cooked, repeat with other steak, and let both steaks sit for 2-3 minutes to allow juices to distribute throughout.
• When ready to serve, you can add additional butter, lemon juice and seasoning to your liking.
